add realistic synthetic event generation for local testing #809

Description

@sentry-junior

add a cli workflow to generate fake but realistic Sentry events for local testing.

context from the thread:

  • users want to test the local Sentry experience across different plans (for example AM1 and AM3) and see how more realistic events appear in-product
  • current options are fragmented: sentry-cli send-event works for simple cases, SDK/demo apps can generate traffic, some folks replay stored event JSON, and getsentry/seer-test-sandbox has realistic scenarios but is aimed at Seer testing

proposal:

  • add an explicit sentry-cli feature or subcommand for generating realistic synthetic events locally
  • support richer payloads than a single simple error message
  • ideally make it easy to vary event shape / complexity so product and engineering can exercise different UX paths without building custom apps each time
